Subject: patch for ixgbe-3.3.9 (out-of-tree) driver.
Using 'ethtool -t ethX' with 82598 chipset causes
kernel splats because spin-lock wasn't initialized properly.
This can probably cause other problems, but I'm not certain
of that.
I can't tell that anyone actually watches the sourceforge list,
so posting it here...
The reason I'm using the out-of-tree driver is that a customer
reports link bouncing when using the 82598 NIC. They are stuck
on a .34 kernel at the moment, so maybe it's fixed upstream already.
At any rate, I can't reproduce the problem locally, but the 3.3.9
driver appears to work for them.
Thanks,
Ben
